The Dielectric Behavior of Human ex vivo Cochlear Perilymph

This work details the acquisition, handling, and measurement of microliters of perilymph, the fluid inside the human hearing organ, using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy and the correlation of the molecular relaxations to the physiological composition. Comparing between ex-vivo fresh, fresh-frozen and fixed sources reveals that dielectric absorption of the pulses is due to alpha- and beta-charg...
